About this mod
Some slight adjustments to the wonderful "Capitals and Towns of Skyrim" mod by Symonson to correct some inconsistencies in the snow shader which should resolve problems with the walls (in Dawnstar) as well as the Farmhouse walkway pieces used in Dawnstar and Morthal.

This is a patch/fix for the mod Capitals and Towns of Skyrim by Symonson and is an ESL flagged ESP file.
The original mod is great and adds some little touches of life to Dawnstar, Falkreath, Morthal, and Winterhold.
However, if you use any mesh replacers (such as Major Cities Mesh Overhaul), or snow replacers (such as Simplicity of Snow) the newly added walls in Dawnstar tend to be problematic.
Symonson also adjusted the snow angle on a number of the Farmhouse Walkway pieces, including changing the base object snow shader, which I noticed caused quite a visual difference when those pieces were alongside unedited pieces.
To correct these issues. I made new meshes for the walls and removed the unnecessary moss layers and top cap layers as they weren't visible anyway and caused problems with snow shaders. The meshes still retain vanilla pathing so any texture replacer should work as intended. Further to this, I adjusted the snow values on the Farmhouse walkway pieces, ensuring that everything has a consistent look and lines up with the way I believe Symonson intended, even when making use of alternative mesh replacers.
This effectively makes the "MCMO Patch" provided by Symonson obsolete.
*NOTE*
You may get a warning about 2 ITM records. These are intentional to revert changes made by Symonson.

Farmhouse Walkways:
"WalkwayC01Snow" - Symonson changed snow angle to 30, I changed it back to vanilla value of 90. May show as an ITM record, this is intentional.
"WalkwayCEnd01Snow" - Symonson changed snow angle to 30, I changed it back to vanilla value of 90. May show as an ITM record, this is intentional.
"WalkwayCEnd02Snow" - Vanilla snow angle value was 30, I changed it to 90 to match the other pieces.
"WalkwayCWallEnd04Snow" - Snow material changed from "Winterhold" to "Farm" to match the other pieces.
"WalkwayCWallGate01Snow" - Vanilla snow angle value was 30, I changed it to 90 to match the other pieces.
"WalkwayCWallGate02Snow" Snow material changed from "Winterhold" to "Farm" to match the other pieces.
The above changes allow the meshes to all share a consistent look.
Extra:
"FarmBannerPost01Snow" - Snow material changed from "Winterhold" to "Farm". Looks slightly better this way and matches a little better with other snowy meshes.
